Care For Your Gear - "Clean gear is happy gear"

As each season begins, we may take for granted that our gear is ready for the long days and nights on the water. Here at Team One Newport, we pride ourselves on being the Foul Weather Gear Experts since 1985. Proper gear care can extend the life of your kit, and save you major replacement costs in the long run. If your piece doesn’t perform like new once it is clean, then it is a good time to treat it with an approved product. If that doesn’t work, call our experts and we can help you figure out your options.

General Care: After a day on the water, always rinse your kit with clean water making sure to clean out any salt water that might corrode zippers and the like. Believe it or not, they are typically the first thing to cause issues.

Product Care by Brand:

It is best that you clean your gear at least once a season, making sure you follow the manufacturers recommendations found on the care tag somewhere on it. We've compiled some brand specific care instructions so that you can get the most out of your products.
